greetings from downunder just wondering if any experts here could provide me with some answers or solutions please i have a thinkcentre m58p running win7pro 64bit with 6gb ram. i have accidently acquired myself 2x SAS SSD drive not knowing that these SAS drives are NOT the same as the normal SSD drive. i found out that i need to have a RAID card to run these drives. would anyone here know how to setup my PC so i can use one of these SAS drives as my boot drive ? also, would this card, Dell PowerEdge SAS 6/iR RAID Controller Adapter Card part#0JW063 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1163240918), work interms of controlling the SAS drive as my boot drive ? more importantly, is this card (Dell PowerEdge SAS 6/iR RAID Controller Adapter Card part#0JW063) compatible with my thinkcentre pc ? if this possible, would anyone here patient enough to explain it to me ste-by-step on how to set it up in my pc so i can make the SAS work as my boot drive ? appreciate any help have a great day and weekend everyone

Hi, I have this computer which is SFF. I will add 2nd HDD and I need to configure RAID 1. Computer has Win 7 Pro License and will save the installed configuration to a Clonezilla image and then recover it to a working RAID 1 array. Will this work wth such a configuration? BTW what will be the difference between RAID controller on the motherboard and separate? Thank you.

Hello, I updated the bios to the latest version (the one from 2012) and my video card (Gigabyte GT 710 1GB) doesn?t work it says no signal in my monitor but the fan is running and I bought it new. I?ve seen some youtube videos about Lenovo Thinkcentre M58p with GT 710 and they can make it work but not for me (why meeee). I need help ASAP please.

Hello, I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre m58p with a GT 710 and I will probably upgrade it to GT 1030 in the future but is the GT 1030 compatible with the m58p?

A:Lenovo Thinkcentre M58 & M58p: yes, is compatible with GT 1030

I'm a huge fan of the GT 1030, but haven't seen any posts here on it and the M58/p. You may be the first to try it, however the GT 1030 does work with the next gen model, M90/p (and newer), and I haven't seen a case where a GT 730 worked (on systems with PCIe ver. 2.0 -- GT 730 is known to work on M58) and the GT 1030 did not (meaning it has good backward compatibility, unlike AMD graphics cards.) That doesn't guarantee that it will work, but there's a very high probability. I hope that helps.

Edit: Earlier versions of the M58 and all M57 have PCIe ver 1.1. I would not recommending using a PCIe 3.0 card (GT 1030) in a 1.1 slot (PCIe 2.0 cards like GT 730 do work in 1.1 slots.). Check your Intel Chipset specs to see which version is supported.

Edit 2: I'm now thinking that all M58 had version 2.0 PCIe. M58 did have 2 generations of Intel processors, but I believe the Chipset stayed the same.

Like many others recently, I picked up a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58P (7484 A14) desktop computer via eBay. It runs Windows 10. From eBay, I also bought and installed a new PSU (www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-750W-750-Watt-BLUE-LED-Quiet-Large-Gaming-Fan-SATANEW 750W 750 Watt BLUE LED Quiet Large Gaming Fan SATA ATX PowNEW 750W 750 Watt BLUE LED Quiet Large Gaming Fan SATA ATX Power Supply PSU PCIeer Supply PSU PCIe-ATX-Power-Supply-PSU-PCIe-/400646802599?hash=item5d48690ca7:g:i5sAAOSwgmJX1wGf). Since then, the computer shuts down suddenly, and increasingly frequently. As of today, it will not run at all. It starts to run, gets as far as booting the o/s, and then shuts down as though the power were cut off. I have never heard of and I never considered a compatibility problem with the power supply, which is listed as being ATX. Inside, I have this PSU powering the system board, one SATA CD/ROM drive, the SATA HDD, and an Nvidia Quadro 4000. Can an ATX power supply be incompatible, as mine apparently is? How so?

Hmmm...removing the Nvidia Quadro 4000 seems to have solved the problem. Is it an issue with my card, or is the Nvidia Quadro 4000 incompatible with this motherboard? I wouldn't have thought it would be incompatible.

Hello, I'd like to add an additional ethernet card with 2-4 ports to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p 6137, but I'm not sure what will fit. I'm not the most computer knowledgeable, any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

This is a little confusing to explain, essentially when using "Restart" the computer will hang on the second Lenovo screen during boot up. It can shut down and turn on just fine, but it seems like if it tries to boot up too quickly from being turned off it hangs. If I use "Shut down" and let it rest for 20-30 seconds it'll boot up normally. It can also "progress" when encountering this problem, if it hangs and I turn it off but don't wait long enough it can go past the second Lenovo screen and hang on a black screen with a flashing "_" in the upper left hand corner, and if I repeat that it'll move onto a black screen with the blue Windows logo but no loading circle and hang there. I hope that makes enough sense to understand. Now, it's not that big of an issue, like I said, everything else works fine. But when my computer will try to auto-restart after an update or if I'm reinstalling Windows and it needs to reboot itself then it ends up frozen and sometimes that ends up messing up the update or reinstallion. I'm not exactly the most educated with computers, but I noticed an option for Hard-Disk Pre-Delay in my BIOS and was wondering if enabling that could fix the problem, if not then any help fixing it would be appreciated.

Hello! I am a happy owner of Lenovo p50, but i got couple of questions. Firstly, Intel Xeon CPU E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz should have a maximum clock speed of 3.7ghz, but thats not the case. The higher i see it goes is ~3.4ghz. I use Piriform Speccy. I tried some CPU stress tests etc, but the result is around 3.4ghz max clock. The Second question is why my bios menu is all greyed and i cannot change any setting. Yesterday i upgraded the BIOS to the latest N1EET60W (1.33 ) and today i tried to visit the BIOS to check some CPU related settings, but i found that almost every setting is locked and i cannot access it. It might be a security mechanism, but before i enter the menu i got promted to scan my fingerprint so i guess that should be it.

I checked T3600 and 3610 - the only difference is BIOS firmware, even BIOS chips are the same. T3600 has Intel ME firmware 7th version - that is why Xeon v2 are not recognized by the 3600 system, they need later 8th version of ME. Upgrade of ME formware is a difficult procedure - You need to fit the size and other attributes of old ME region. The simpliest way would be to read both BIOS chips from 3610 motherboard and clean data region in ME but I don't have any T3610 systems. Another way is to analyze BIOS file for T3610 and drag out the firmware for T3600. If anybody has T3610 - please reply

I have 3 HP Z230 Tower Workstations with Xeon E3-1225 v3 CPUs which I would like to go faster.Is it possible to upgrade from Xeon E3-12XX v3 to the newer Xeon E3-12XX v4 CPUs, especially the E3-1285L v4 ?If possible, what are the requirements?

Hi, Xeon E3-1535M v5 or Xeon E3-1550M v5? Which processor would you recommend? A shop told me, that E3-1535M v5 is no longer available by Lenovo and that Xeon E3-1550M v5 would be the best. Is this true? Thanks for any advice!

A:P50: Xeon E3-1535M v5 or Xeon E3-1550M v5?

Saw your other post asking about optical drive. I got a feeling that it's either a joke or scam. 1) There's no optical drive option for P50 (of course we are talking about built-in drive, not the external one).2) There's no E3-1550M v5 option for P50. In fact, even the E3-1535M has limited availability. e.g. E3-1535M is available in Japan but not in US. Good luck with the 'special built' P50.

I own an M58p 6209-D71 and want to upgrade to 16gb of RAM. The latest BIOS allows 4gb sticks and according to Intel, regarding the Q45 chipset, the mainboard allows up to 16gb of RAM on [email protected] (and up to 8gb on [email protected]), Will the 16 option be possible? Thanks in advance

A:M58p with 16gb of RAM

Check out both the Kingston and Crucial memory websites for your specific model for what is possible for memory upgrades.

Both companies have a 100% guarantee (and lifetime warranty) for system model specific memory to be compatible with that system and it's factory memory.

Hi all, new to the forum. Would like to upgrade my M58p (7373) tower graphics card, from at present a Geforce GTX 650ti (2 GB ver) and replace it with a single slot nvidia Quadro K4000. mainly because the dual slot geforce card is covering a much needed 1x pci slot. Is anyone else using a Quadro 4000 or Quadro K4000 card successfully in there socket 775 motherboard?The quadro K4000 has the same GPU (K106) as the geforce GTX650ti that is in my Thinkcenter already. My concern, as I understand, that the drivers for the quadro are different than drivers for the geforce. Will those drivers work on this motherboard? I'm of the impression that quadro card drivers were designed for Xeon processor motherboards. I do NLE using Adobe CC, and utilize the cuda cores (768) for mercury playback engine using the GTX 650ti, providing a much improved response during editing. I have searched the forum and have found a list of certified compatible GTX cards, however no list of quadro cards. Presently the system is flawless. If it were'nt for my need for that pci slot under the dual slot graphics card, I wouldn't change a thing. I only do 1280 X 720 resolutiion editing so the K106 gpu is more than sufficient. I use Handbrake to convert and cleanup footage for the highest bitrate this motherboard can provide, which is about 28Mb/s (or 3.5 MB/s). I have had this computer for 5 years, upgraded cpu from Core2Duo E7300 to a Core2Quad 6600 (1066 FSB), 4GB of ram to 8GB of ram (max).... Read more

A:RAM Upgrade M58p 6137w71

I suggest you check the Kingston and Crucial Memory websites for 2x 2GB (which will get you to 8GB) upgrades for your specific M58p model.

My ThinkCentre M58p 7484 is running BIOS 5CKT77AUS. It apparently will not support USB 3.0. When I tried to install a PCIE 3.0 card, the BIOS would load but Windows 7 Pro would not. Is there anyway to get around this problem and, if not, is the BIOS scheduled for an update?

What is the best way to flash Bios update on 64bit OS? CD-rom w/ 5cjy77usa.exe does not work. Says no boot filename received (PXE-E53). It is for M58p-6234-A1U

Download the CD ISO file, and 'burn' to a CD. Boot from that CD, you may need to change the boot order in the BIOS if it doesn't go to that drive before the HD. It may ask if you want to change the model and serial number, reply No.

I have a M58p 3484-Y2S with 2x 2gb sticks of RAM running Win7 x64. I purchased 2x 2gb sticks of RAM to add. When I add the RAM, I get the Memory Error beep (1-3-3-1). I've tried booting with just one of the new sticks, or both new sticks with the same results. I doubt I was shipped two bad sticks of RAM. It seems as if it's the wrong RAM, but it seems to be right.

A:Problems adding RAM to M58p

Turns out the problem was the subset of RAM. Curcial specified the 'generic' part we needed. However, specifically, the motherboard only supports the 16-chip style of ram -- 8 chip on each side of the board.

I have been surfing the lenovo website for an hour or more and I'm just in a loop. The website detected my computer model and serial # but won't let me add it to my products, because the serial # is wrong. I bought this refurbished in April 2017 (can't find the receipt but that's when I registered at Lenovo website.) There are several stickers with possible s/n s on them.It works fine I just need to know what I'd need to do to switch from connecting to my home network with an ethernet cable to going wireless. My cable co gave me a device with 2 ports for ethernet and I need 3, and this is the best candidate (maybe)Thanks, I'm kind of an elderly luddite, but I'm hooked on gaming.Keith

A:m58p Max CPU and memory capacity

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70986it doesn't list the Q9xxx CPU in the above list.i think from memory it can only support 4 sticks of 2 gigs for a maximum of 8 gigs. There is only fan kit listed in the above, which is the:Intel 95W/65W heatsink kit, no fan grill 43N9897so i suspect you can use it for up to 95 w tdp cpu.-----------------------------------

Had a look at another document, this time it liswts the Q9xxx CPU as been supported on this a model of M58p. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70986

I would assume that the Q9xxx should be supported, but can't say with 100% certainty.

Download the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your particular system model, M58p is the system type, the model will be a 4-digit number, like 6137. Find the port and connector diagram for the motherboard.

So I have this problem that some of my programs do not work because of this error:Pixel format not acceleratedI found that this problem has something to do with the Video Card. But because I have Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1) video card, there are no drivers updates for windows 10 which means I either I get a new video card, or downgrade back to Win 7 (Which I do not want.) SO the only option is to upgrade my video cards, but sadly I don't know which ones are compatible and which ones are not. This is what I need help on. The PC details are attached.

I have searched the whole durn world over about upgrading ram memory on these M58P 6137 sff desktop computers and it's like two sides to every story!! Lenovo says:: 8gb maximum. Crucial and others say 16gb maximum. I've updated the bois to the 5ckt77a and all that and even chunked in a cpu upgrade from e8400-3.0 to a 8600-3.33 and no problems there. But before going and spending money on a lost cause; If indeed these computers can even handle 1- 4gb stick of ram let alone 4-4gb of ram. Anyone out there done it yet? I'm using 8gb now (4-2gb)

I have the M58p and as you know, it has a microphone jack on the backside of the tower, as well as the front with a mic and headphone jack. Is it possible to run AND RECORD audio from both mics if I use the two provided jacks? From what I have tried so far, I cannot get my audio software to take in both without some sort of issue. I thought maybe I was missing something, hence the question. thank you in advance!

Hi all, For my M58P, I upgraded from E8400 to Q9650 and I check the temperature of the CPU. I do everything well : thermal paste, not to much, just enough. I upgrade BIOS to the last version 5CJZ77USA. In idle, around 50C, in stress with CPUID it's 84C. I used CPUID HWMonitor. I try RealTemp too. I don't understand why the fan didn't spinning to cooling the CPU. It still the same speed at 84C. I try another fan to check and the same think happened. Can anyone already encountered similar problem ?

A:M58P - CPU Fan Not Spinning When Warming With Q9650

Ok I got it, after hours and hours I found that the problem is the thermal cable. It is place on front of the case and the fan pull the air in the front. So the cable termal never detect the CPU Temperature. I just unmount the thermal cable from the front case and put it behind the cooler so that cable can now get the CPU temperature and the fan spin correctly. My CPU has now just the good temperature. It's still keeping 57C at full load.
